I just found this on a blog I read often called Another Black Conservative and she has done a great job of what I call investigative journalism on this topic. I'll think you'll see this stuff never happened.
The unraveling of the Tea Party racial smears
Bit by bit and piece-by-piece, the alleged incident where Tea Party protesters hurled racial slurs at black congress members starts to unravel. What is starting to emerge is an image that the media and Democrats planned the whole thing in advanced.
Lets start with this video below by Jack Cashill at The American Thinker. It recaps the events that day and points out various oddities.
The McClatchy news story is where new clues to media collusion begin. Jack Cashill takes a look at the timeline of the McCatchy story and finds some super human writing, editing, formatting and publishing skills.
[…]In composing it, I checked with my source on the scene, Greg Farrell, to get a timeline on the passage of the Black Caucus members from the Cannon Building to the Capitol and back. According to Farrell, they left the Cannon Building about 2:30 PM on March 20th and returned about 3:15 PM. He had no reason to exaggerate.
I asked because at 4:51 that same day, McClatchy reporter William Douglas posted an article on the McClatchy website with the inflammatory headline, "Tea party protesters scream 'nigger' at black congressman."
In other words, Douglas, with an attributed assist from James Rosen, managed to interview representatives John Lewis, Emanuel Cleaver, and Barney Frank, compose an 800-word article, and have it edited and formatted for posting within a 90-minute window.
During that same 90 minutes, Douglas would have received and incorporated a press release from Emanuel Cleaver, making the easily disproved claim that he had "been spat upon and that Capitol Police had arrested his assailant."[…]
In addition to the speedy publishing, the McClatchy reporter William Douglas references both the Huffington Post and Boston Globe in his article. Here is the kicker, both the Huffington Post and the Boston Globe stories were not published until AFTER the McClatchy piece.
But Douglas also had two other important sources: he referenced two additional journalists in the very same article.
Frank told the Boston Globe that the incident happened as he was walking from the Longworth office building to the Rayburn office building, both a short distance from the Capitol. Frank said the crowd consisted of a couple of hundred of people and that they referred to him as 'homo.' A writer for The Huffington Post said the protesters called Frank a "faggot."
From Weasel Zippers: KANSAS CITY, MO– U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver voted in favor of the controversial health care reform bill, but talk isn't raging about how voted, but whether or not he was purposely spit on as he and other congressmen made their way to the U.S. Capitol building to cast their vote.
In video of the incident, a man is seen with his hands around his mouth and yelling at the Kansas City, Missouri, Democrat as he walked by. The footage shows Rep. Cleaver reacting to the man, and is seen a few seconds later wiping his face.
The video is not clear as to whether or not the man spit in Cleaver's face intentionally, or if it was a matter of "say it, don't spray it." Rep. Cleaver never commented on the incident, but it didn't take long before many people claimed that he was spit upon.
In an interview on Tuesday with FOX 4 News, Rep. Cleaver would not directly answer the question of whether or not he was intentionally spit upon.
"I haven't talked about this incident on TV or anywhere, and I've been approached to talk about it on every national TV show," said Rep. Cleaver in an interview with FOX 4 News. "I never, I never reported anything, never a single thing in Washington, not one thing. People assume I went somewhere, never done press conference, never done an interview on it and I'm not going to do it."
I wonder how would those in the media, who push this story, feel if some young black person ended up throwing away a good chunk of their life by committing physical violence against a white tea party protester, all because he or she believed the media's reporting?

Post subject: Lynn Margulis... WTF happened?
So, back in the day I read a good deal of her work on symbiosis as a driving force in evolution. I was pretty impressed. I've always known she had a fondness for weird theories...
Recently I read an interview in which she quite matter of factly stated to the interviewer that AIDS is caused by the Syphilis bacteria... I did a double take. Yep, she actually said that... WTF?! Then a few weeks later I thought, well maybe it was a big April fools joke, but I couldn't remember the date of the interview. So I tried doing an online search of the periodical I read it in and came up with more weirdness. Apparently she fast tracked a rather bizarre paper on a theory suggesting Butterflies are the result of accidental breeding between an insect and a velvet worm(With no supporting evidence) in a reputable journal. It was beaten to a pulp in peer review, and she was asked very pointedly to provide a reason for this weirdness (she basically cherry picked peer reviewers to get the requisite positive reviews necessary for publication and by personally sheparding it bypassed many of the usual obstacles to publication. The loop hole she used is now in the process of being closed). I don't recall what her reason was except she really liked the ideas the guy had, evidence or no. Anyway, I no longer think the interview was an April fools joke. I think Lynn has gone from unconventional to batshit crazy. She's certainly not the only scientist to be, frankly, fringe. The guy who developed PCR believes in alien abductions, I'm just a bit shocked I guess. I know I shouldn't be, but I am. She's certainly not the first well respected scientist to be a crank (The guy who developed PCR believes in alien abduction, for example). But Ugh... Just Ugh.

Pardon the double use of my example, by the way. I was half awake. I brought the whole issue up here because I actually dreamed about that blasted interview in Discover. Seriously, WTF?!
I'd love to see the letters to the editor on this one.

i started checking out the "discovery" article that prompted wheel's article - right off the bat, it sounds like she's sorta unclear on the evolutionary concept:
This is the issue I have with neo-Darwinists: they teach that what is generating novelty is the accumulation of random mutations in DNA, in a direction set by natural selection.
Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.
well of course it doesn't create! it can only act on whatever mutations turn up - _that's_ the creative bit. and natural selection also doesn't set the direction, the mutations happen as they happen.
she seems to feel it's all due to unicellular organisms adding capabilities to multicellular ones. i'm not saying that the unicells don't have their place - but if it's all about symbiosis, where do the new unicells come from? how did spirochetes come to differ from ciliates and blue-green algae and all those other things?

There was a fun bit on QI about someone who'd suggested that butterflies and caterpillars may be two separate species who [DETAILS WERE LACKING, MIXED SPERM & EGGS? DEVELOPED SOME KIND OF INHERITABLE SYMBIOSIS?]
As far as I could gather it was basically a reputable person who had suggested that some species with two highly different stages of life may be 2 separate species evolving together within a single body
Does that have anything to do with this?

She is more than a bit harsh. Her ideas add to how life can diversify, but they in no way replace natural selection.
I very much doubt we will have a truly full picture of all the myriad ways evolution can work (and all the factors involved) any time soon, but after 150 years of enthusiasitic attempts to discredit the basic premises of evolution I don't see the continued filling in of the picture as a real threat to the basic understanding we have gained of the process. I think we will learn amazing and wonderful things that re-enforce the power of the theory. I believe it will continue to be tweaked and added to without being undermined any time soon. At present, in the vein of some of Lynn's less batshit ideas, they are looking into the role viruses play in evolution and it's fascinating stuff. A new wrinkle if you will (Even if it's not so much new as they've finally got the technology to really investigate it).

To be fair, if I remember correctly, the guy who developed PCR credits its discovery to his hallucinogenic habits. So that's not so much of a turn, as a continuation.

I'm willing to give Nietzsche the sometimes. It kind of makes sense in a Kuhnian way. Thinkers who understand the nuance of a complicated paradigm are more likely (though not certain) to be indoctrinated to believe the paradigm. So someone who maybe doesn't understand it all that well might spout off something that turns out to have a grain of truth. I think this is probably rare and their contributions more likely to be minor, but it seems workable.

Resolution Targeting "Occupy" Use of Plazas
Council President Barb Johnson has shared a resolution that she will be moving at tomorrow's Council meeting. The intent of this action appears to be to prohibit Occupy MN protesters from using City-controlled public plazas. The full text is below the fold.
I will vote against this resolution. It clearly goes against another resolution that the Council adopted last October, "Supporting Peaceable Calls for Reforms to the Income Tax, Financial, and Electoral Systems." It puts the City on the wrong side of civil liberties, including freedom of expression. Because any such move by the City will be viewed - rightly - by the Occupy movement as a direct attack on them, it positions the City on the side of the 1% against the 99%. It is clearly designed to send a message that Occupiers will be arrested, giving the MPD a green light (and proactive political cover) for more of the mass arrest events like we saw last Saturday.
This isn't necessary, and it isn't a good idea, and it isn't right. Rather than finding ways to stifle and silence this movement, I believe that we should be exploring ways to help ensure that its message is heard and that its work to bring more economic justice to our community and country can move forward.
I will vote no, and hope that a majority of my colleagues join me.
Resolution establishing rules for public plazas owned or controlled by the City of Minneapolis
WHEREAS, the City of Minneapolis owns a number of public plaza, including but not limited to Peavey Plaza, Riverfront Plaza, Cedar-Riverside Plaza, Loring Greenway and Nicollet Mall (the "Plazas")'
WHEREAS, the City desires to protect and enhance public use and enjoyment of the Plazas as well as to protect public health and safety;
WHEREAS, the City further desires to coordinate uses of the Plazas granted by permit with the use of the plazas by individuals; and
WHEREAS, the City respects and desires to protect and enhance all lawful uses of the Plazas, including uses involving the exercise of first amendment rights;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of Minneapolis:
That in addition to applicable state and federal laws and regulations and City ordinances and permits, use of the Plazas shall be subject to the following rules:
1. These rules shall apply to plazas owned or controlled by the City, including but not limited to: Peavey Plaza, Riverfront Plaza, Cedar-Riverside Plaza, Loring Greenway and Nicollet Mall (the "Plazas");
2. The Plazas shall be available for the use and enjoyment of the public between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight. Outside of those hours, the Plazas shall be available only for the purpose of traveling through the plaza without delay;
3. Use of the Plazas for camping, sleeping or any living accommodation purposes is prohibited. This prohibition includes preparations to sleep such as setting down bedding or laying [sic] down on the ground for the purposes of sleeping;
4. Personal property or possessions may not be left unattended or stored on the Plazas. Any unattended or stored personal property or possessions may be removed pursuant to M.C.O. 427.100;
5. No portable toilets or cooking or fire building devices are allowed on the Plazas, except as specifically allowed in a permit issued under City ordinances subject to any conditions specified therein;
6. Any persons not in compliance with the above rules shall be provided a copy of the rules and given a reasonable amount of time to comply. If the person(s) have not complied with these rules after a reasonable amount of time has passed, they may be issued a written notice of trespass for the pertinent plaza by the chief of police or the chief's designee.

Feresa attenuata
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Feresa attenuata Gray, 1875
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:

|Hammond, P.S. & Perrin, W.F. (Cetacean Red List Authority)
This species is naturally uncommon. The combination of potential declines driven by impacts from high intensity anthropogenic sounds and bycatch in fisheries is believed sufficient that a 30% global reduction over three generations cannot be ruled out.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This is a tropical/subtropical species that inhabits oceanic waters around the globe generally between 40°N and 35°S. It does not generally approach close to shore, except in some areas where deep, clear waters are very close to the coast (such as around oceanic archipelagos like Hawaii). Reports of its occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea, while common in the literature, are not supported by authenticated records. It is also doubtful whether it occurs regularly in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf (Leatherwood et al. 1991). A few high-latitude strandings and sightings are thought to be extralimital records, and are generally associated with incursions of warm water (Ross and Leatherwood 1994; Donohue and Perryman 2002; Williams et al. 2002).

|Although there is little information on the population biology of this species, the pygmy killer whale appears to be naturally uncommon. Wade and Gerrodette (1993) estimated that there were about 38,900 (CV=31%) of these whales in the eastern tropical Pacific. There are estimated to be 817 (CV=112%) in the Hawaiian portion of the US EEZ, and 408 (CV=60%) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Barlow 2006; Mullin and Fulling 2004).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The pygmy killer whale occurs in deep, warm waters, generally beyond the edge of the continental shelf, and rarely close to shore (except near some oceanic island groups where the water is deep and clear). This species is mainly tropical, but occasionally strays into warm temperate regions.
Little is known of the diet of this species, although it is known to eat fish and squid. It has occasionally been recorded attacking dolphins, at least those involved in tuna fishery interactions in the eastern tropical Pacific (Perryman and Foster 1980).
|Use and Trade:
|It is hunted at a low levels in St Vincent, and is used as bait in fisheries in Sri Lanka.
|Major Threat(s):
Because of their relatively low abundance, even small takes in localized areas could be significant. Although there is considerable controversy regarding the absolute level of declines, there is good evidence of large-scale reductions in many predatory fish populations (e.g., Baum et al. 2003, 2005; Sibert et al. 2006; Polacheck 2006) and over-fishing and collapse of several important "prey" fish stocks world-wide (e.g., Jackson et al. 2001). The effects of such fish population reductions and subsequent ecosystem changes on world-wide populations of pygmy killer whales are unknown but could result in population declines.
Predicted impacts of global climate change on the marine environment may affect pygmy killer whales, although the nature of impacts is unclear (Learmonth et al. 2006).
This species, like beaked whales, is likely to be vulnerable to loud anthropogenic sounds, such as those generated by navy sonar and seismic exploration (Cox et al. 2006) and have been a part of multi-species unusual stranding events in Taiwan (Wang and Yang, 2006).
Pygmy killer whales have been killed directly in both harpoon and driftnet fisheries (Caribbean islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Indonesia) and incidentally in various types of fishing gear (most areas of the species' range).
A few individuals are known to be taken in drives and in driftnets in various regions, most notably Japan and Sri Lanka (Ross and Leatherwood 1994). Reports on the small-cetacean fisheries of St Vincent and Lamalera suggest that pygmy killer whales form a very small proportion of the catch and that catches probably have little impact on the subpopulations in those areas. In Sri Lanka, there is mortality of this species due to harpooning of dolphins for use as bait on long-lines for sharks, billfish, and other oceanic fishes (Ross and Leatherwood 1994).
Although they comprise less than 2% of all cetaceans in monitored by-catches in gillnet fisheries in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka and in villages on the south-west coast of Sri Lanka, this may amount to 300 - 900 pygmy killer whales each year (Ross and Leatherwood 1994). The numbers of animals killed incidentally in net fisheries, such as those in Sri Lanka, may be much higher than is so far documented, because monitoring of these widespread activities is incomplete. In the long term, such takes may have a significant impact on pygmy killer whales where their distribution overlaps with extensive gillnetting operations (Ross and Leatherwood 1994). Small incidental catches are known in fisheries in other areas including the Philippines and Taiwan (Ross and Leatherwood 1994, Dolar 1994, J. Wang pers. comm. 2007).
Evidence from stranded individuals of several similar species indicates that they have swallowed discarded plastic items, which may eventually lead to death (e.g. Scott et al. 2001); this species may also be at risk.
This species does not appear to be particularly abundant anywhere that it has been sighted. In Hawaii, subpopulations appear to be small, and this, along with their limited movements, suggests the species may be particularly vulnerable to human impacts regionally.
|Conservation Actions:
|The species is listed on Appendix II of CITES. Research is needed to determine the impact of potential threats on this species.

We've all experienced the angst of a burned tongue, the
subsequent moaning and groaning about it, the diminished level of
joy when eating. And then, out of nowhere it seems, the tongue is
back and ready for action.
It's the miracle of life, um, kind of, at the cellular level, and
it's all thanks to stem cells.
Stem cells are super cool, like way-nerdy-sci-fi super cool, and
I'm disappointed that they really haven't got a fair shake from the
media. All we hear about on the news is the unrest related to
embryonic stem cells and research. Ok, step back and don't worry,
I'm not about to go on a political tirade, but I am going to use
taste to show just amazing stem cells are in your body and how they
are working for you right now.
To kick this off, it's important to realize that every single one
of your cells has the exactly the same DNA, and this is your
cookbook for making all the things your body needs. So if every
cell has the same cookbook then how in the worId do we have so many
different types of cells? Well, the straight-forward answer is that
different cell types pick and choose a unique combo of recipes
within the cookbook to make (each recipe is a gene). This picking
and choosing stage is highly regulated in your body and is called
Gene Expression.
So where do stem cells come in? They are like the culinary school
of cells, spitting out brand new cooks into brand new kitchens with
the whole cookbook at their disposal. And these new chefs, called
"precursor cells" start to get signals that show them what their
speciality will be and which recipes they will begin to use, and
which ones they will never use. As the chefs/precursor cells "learn
more" they start going down a specialty path, and no longer have
the ability to be a generalist, they become rather forever a
specialist. A pastry chef/muscle cell, a sushi chef/neuron and so
This process happens in so many parts of your body, from the
liver, to the bone marrow, to the brain, and yes, even in your
taste buds. And it helps us to have a new supply of cells
throughout our lives, so that when cells die or are damaged we can
replace them and keep on keeping on.
Dr. Linda Barlow of the University of Colorado and the Rocky
Mountain Taste and Smell Center, kicked off the 8 am session this
morning with how this happens on the tongue. She and colleagues are
trying to figure out which cells in the taste bud are the precursor
cells, what kind of characteristics they have, and what specialty
cells they turn into.
She and her team have looked closely at a cell type that lives at
the very bottom of the taste bud and expresses the recipe for a
protein called "sonic hedge hog" Shh for short. Worth noting that I
use to love playing that video game. So they have a candidate
precursor cell, they know some of the characteristics and now they
are doing really cool tracking experiments to visualize what
happens to these Shh cells after they are born from stem cells. She
showed beautiful pictures of where they go in the taste bud and
based on which genes they start to use she can determine which
specialty taste cells they are destined to become.
Research like Dr. Barlow's on how taste cells are born and reborn
helps scientists not only understand more about the taste system in
development and repair, but it also sheds a lot of light on the
fascinating role of stem cells. Basic science like this is the
foundation for all the amazing discoveries in human health that
help us everyday, and will continue to be the foundation for the
amazing discoveries to come.
What a nice way to close a fantastic 2012 AChemS conference. It
makes me excited to get back in the lab with the team and get
cranking on discoveries of our own.

Understanding Audi
- Electromechanical parking brake
The electromechanical parking brake comprises the parking brake, starting-off aid and emergency braking functions.
It's activated by pulling a lever on the centre console, which replaces the conventional handbrake lever. When you drive off – provided the driver's seat belt is fastened – the parking brake is released automatically.
The control unit for the electromechanical parking brake determines the selected gear, accelerator position, engine speed, torque, direction of travel and the vehicle's angle of inclination. It uses this information to prevent the vehicle from rolling back when starting on an incline.
The brake can only be released manually if the foot brake is depressed at the same time. In the event of an emergency braking manoeuvre with the parking brake, the vehicle can be braked considerably more effectively than with a conventional handbrake because the system communicates with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) via the electronic stabilisation programme (ESP).

Police say it was either a bee or a wasp that caused a three-vehicle pileup involving a school bus in Westphal Wednesday afternoon.
According to an RCMP news release, officers responded to the collision on Highway 7 at about 3 p.m.
Mayhem ensued after a woman driving a Pontiac G5 car suddenly swerved into the passing lane in an attempt to avoid a vehicle in front of her, after becoming distracted by a bee or a wasp.
The vehicle then struck a school bus and a Dodge Journey SUV travelling in the outside lane.
Police say there were no injuries and students were not inside the bus at the time of the incident. The report also said no charges will be laid.
The bus is owned and operated by Stock Transportation, which provides student bus services for the Halifax Regional School Board.
A company spokeswoman couldn't say whether the bus was in the process of picking up students at the time of the incident.
All three vehicles were towed from the scene. EHS and the local fire department also attended to the incident.


text: Red Pill News Identity Politics Feminists defend academic accused of sexual harassment What started off as humdrum 'Me Too' story with a twist has now reached peak internet gossip Published 2 months ago on June 30, 2018 By Frank Sellers 27 Views Share Tweet The #MeToo movement that has been sweeping across the world for the past calendar year has been taking victims high and low so that it appears that no one is safe from these accusations of sexual harassment as it takes down some of the most famous and powerful. Is there any type of insurance policy that one can get as a form of self defense from these accusations that once hurled deal irreparable damage? Of course, there is. One must be a female feminist ideologue. By being such, one is guaranteed relative immunity from the consequences of their indiscretions. No punishment, guaranteed. Don't just take my word for it, examine this case of the NYU ideologue who is defended by her feminist ilk. RT reports: A group of prominent feminists is facing backlash over a letter they signed, defending an academic accused of sexual harassment because she is an "important figure" in feminist literary theory. In what started off as humdrum 'Me Too' story with a twist –30-year-old male Ph.D. student accuses 66-year-old female New York University (NYU) professor of sexual harassment– has now reached peak internet gossip level, after 50 academics, including several influential feminists, defended the scholar. Avital Ronell, a world-renowned professor of German and comparative literature at New York University, was accused by a student, known only as 'M', who filed a complaint last September in NYU's Title IX office – the department named after the civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in federally funded educational institutions. In May, colleagues of Ronell sent a letter to the NYU administration signed by a list of character witnesses, including about 50 intellectuals and many leading feminist theoreticians, who lambasted the accusation as a "witch hunt" and emphasised Ronell's academic achievements. The letter says she is "the real victim in the story." Judith Butler, the influential philosopher and gender theorist, and philosopher Slavoj Zizek are among those who have reportedly signed their name to the letter, which described Ronell as someone whose "influence is felt throughout the humanities," and the most "important figure in literary studies at New York University." Zizek, a cultural philosopher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, responded to criticism and defended his signing of the letter by saying he knows the details of the "utterly ridiculous" accusations, which have so far been kept confidential. The letter was made public by Brian Leiter, a professor of philosophy and law at the University of Chicago Law School, in a blog post he titled 'Blaming the victim is apparently OK when the accused in a Title IX proceeding is a feminist literary theorist.' In the letter, Ronell's colleagues also warned the administration that if she were to be terminated or relieved of her duties "the injustice would be widely recognized and opposed." "The ensuing loss for the humanities, for New York University, and for intellectual life during these times would be no less than enormous and would rightly invite widespread and intense public scrutiny," the letter warned. In the letter, Ronell's colleagues also warned the administration that if she were to be terminated or relieved of her duties "the injustice would be widely recognized and opposed." The group also urged the university to approach the case "with a clear understanding of the long history of her thoughtful and successive mentorship, the singular brilliance of this intellectual [and] the international reputation she has rightly earned as a stellar scholar in her field." Critics of the letter have dubbed this effort by the academic community, and feminists in particular, hypocritical for going against the 'party line', in which accusers should always be believed and the connections or achievements of the accused should be at least irrelevant, if not actually used as evidence of their power over the victim. Being of the right gender and a member of the feminist club, one is more assured that they won't fall victim to the slanders and abuses doled out by the militant feminist 'community'. If you're a normal, however, you're not covered, and can therefore be liable for just about anything the feminists want to charge you with.

Published 2 days ago on August 20, 2018 By Seraphim Hanisch The #MeToo phenomenon looked to the first glance a bit like a "moral snapback" in Hollywood, as it appeared that the years of hidden sexual perversity and predatory behavior was being revealed so that it might be stopped. Support The Duran – Browse our Shop >> However, a slightly more serious look at this began to reveal that it was far less upstanding than Hollywood's elite wanted the adoring public to believe. Swiftly, the movement became the feminist movement's latest salvo against men, because it provided women accusers with virtually unlimited power to defame any man – all that was needed was for her to say that man X made an unwanted advance and that man's life would be mired in the mud of slander. In some cases, of course the presence of sexual abuse was real, and tragic. However, as with many attacks from the dark side, a little truth mixed with the lie makes the lie much stronger, and this recipe proved a huge success for the #MeToo movement. The viral spread of this hashtag and the social "outrage" associated with it turned the lives of many people completely upside down. However, now the truth begins to show. And what's more, it begins to show how utterly rotten and, honestly, evil this group of people can be. Asia Argento is an actress who was one of the early accusers of the producing mogul Harvey Weinstein, arguably the "Wanted" poster child of #MeToo. This woman is physically very beautiful, which makes her someone easy to believe by the elite and by the foolish who take her appearance as somehow proof that she is good. So, her accusations against Mr. Weinstein held, despite the fact that she continued having sexual relations with him for years afterward. She blamed Weinstein for this situation saying about this, "after the rape, he won." But late Sunday night on August 19th, news began to surface that Argento had herself seduced and forcibly had sexual relations with a 17 year old actor, Jimmy Bennett, when she was 37 herself. After Argento had gone public with her accusation against Weinstein, Mr. Bennett's lawyer notified Argento of his intention to sue her for US $3.5 million for emotional distress, lost wages and assault and battery. Asia Argento agreed to pay him off to the tune of $380,000. This was reported by The New York Times. This is not the only damaged person in contact with Ms. Argento. Just two months ago on 7 June, her lover Anthony Bourdain was found dead in his hotel room at only 61. Mr. Bourdain reportedly suffered from severe alcoholism and its accompanying depression and suicidal tendencies. The #MeToo movement went extremely viral in its early months, and commentator Rush Limbaugh characterized it as the latest onslaught against men by feminists: I'm going to tell you, if you're in politics and you've ever looked at a woman the wrong way, you can expect a woman at some point to go public and say so. In fact, because of the success they had with this, it's entirely possible that men who haven't done a single thing in terms of mistreating a woman, abusing her, or harassing her, are still, nevertheless, going to be accused of it. It has become a political tactic. We have now had — this is a point that I made yesterday — we have now had something that is a genuinely serious thing in its own right and its own contained universe. Sexual harassment, the use of sexual harassment, the treatment of women, or others, in the workplace, that's a legitimate thing. But it's now just been corrupted and weaponized and made to look like a political opposition research weapon, and that's exactly what's happened. And so, anybody can see, and you can see that when one of these allegations is made, the women are believed, and the men who are accused are not. Which means the men have to prove a negative and the accusers don't have to prove anything. That is a powerful weapon the Democrats have decided to use. And believe me, as we speak, they are behind closed doors creating further strategems using this, and they are picking their targets. And you're going to see more of it, I predict. This present issue though with Mr. Bennett's situation shows that this is actually much worse than just the latest outbreak of feminism. The elite in the United States comprises the actors and musicians that have made their names everyday references in popular culture for almost the entire country. These "beautiful people" are tracked by paparazzi and now, apparently, newspapers of national and international significance. Further, the revelation of impropriety among Hollywood elite was mistakenly presented (perhaps deliberately so) as an attempt to make Hollywood look as though it were beyond reproach. The reasons for this are not clear, but speculation exists that it was a setup for an ego te absolvo moment for the Left so they could attack Trump from a "moral high ground." But the very prominent expression of "moral outrage" among such "leaders" in this group falls apart when one sees that this group is not at all guided by anything that is truly good. Jimmy Bennett's case speaks most powerfully about this, because he was raped, essentially, by a woman who he had come to associate in his mind as a "mother figure." He got a payout, but there is no outrage to speak of against Asia Argento. She made the news because of this revelation but all it appears to show is that the Hollywood elite are eating each other. This woman has some very dark liaisons, too, and the aura of death and decay surrounds her. Yet, she is still a "star." Perhaps a good aspect of this report is that we see it a bit more clearly for what it is. But, that is what many of us said when Harvey Weinstein's escapades were revealed. Continue Reading Latest Doug Casey on Social Media: "Facebook enshrines stupidity" "Just as Myspace was displaced by Facebook, I predict Facebook 2.0 will come along and replace Facebook." Published 3 days ago on August 19, 2018 By The Duran Authored by Joel Bowman via InternationalMan.com: Joel Bowman: G'day, Doug. Thanks for speaking with us today. Doug Casey: No problem, Joel. It's a pleasure to hear your Australian accent come across the ether from Mexico. Joel: Let's dive right in. A week or two ago, Facebook registered the largest single day loss for any one company in stock market history – roughly $122 billion. CEO Mark Zuckerberg lost around $15 billion himself, as much as the annual GDP of several resource-rich, West African nations. Looking back to 2000, during the go-go days of the dot.com boom, Intel and Microsoft both registered staggering single-day losses, too… $90 billion and $80 billion, respectively. And we know what happened next in that case… So, investors want to know… is past prologue? What's next for Silicon Valley's tech darlings? Doug: Talking about losing multiple billions in a single day, it's really a sign of the times. I remember when the only billionaires in the world were Howard Hughes, John Paul Getty and John Beresford Tipton– the mythical billionaire on a 1950's-era show called "The Millionaire." These days, however, it seems everyone's a billionaire. In fact, there are several thousand billionaires roaming the planet today, with new ones being minted almost every day. Of course, much of this so-called wealth is just paper. It's not real. In fact, it's pretty clear to me that we're in a stock market bubble. Which is being driven by the bond market hyper-bubble. And that, in turn, is fueling a real estate bubble, which I believe is just now beginning to deflate in major cities around the world. None of this augurs well for the stock market. You've got bubbles all over the place. Except in the resource market. That's the one place that hasn't inflated. In fact, it's been going down since it's last peak in 2011. Getting back to Facebook, I hope it goes bankrupt. I hate it as an institution. I hate what it does. I don't like its policies. I don't like its management. I don't like the fact that it's causing people to destroy whatever privacy they have left. While turning their brains to mush sending out selfies all day. Joel: You've put a lot on the table there, Doug. Let's unpack a bit of that, starting with the general tendency toward cerebral rot… Many younger readers may not remember this, but there actually existed a time before everybody knew everything, when people had to read books and discuss them, engage in healthy debate and rigorous dialectic in order to learn and develop intellectually. Now that everyone apparently has plenty of time to Instagram their kale salads and "like" one and other's cat pictures, are we to assume mankind has finally reached the End of Learning…some new Age of Enlightenment? Or might Facebook and its (anti)social media cousins represent – in addition to the potential fallout for investors – another, hidden cost to society? Doug: Perhaps humanity is bifurcating into the Morlocks and the Eloi at this point. It's true that people used to go to libraries. But even the Library of Congress has only a tiny fraction the world's data available; libraries are quaint and delightful, but they're dinosaurs. All the knowledge in the world is now at our fingertips on the Internet. The Internet is one of the greatest inventions in history, on a par with moveable type and the Gutenburg printing press. A few people are using it to educate and better themselves—but relatively few. Most people just use it for trivial amusement, as you mentioned. Facebook adds very little value to the equation. In fact, I can't see that it does much that's productive. It's basically a vehicle for gossip and watching cat videos. Joel: And it's less than that. Aside from the general degradation of public discourse, social media also represents a kind of unalterable historical record of bad jokes and regrettable moments, accessible to anyone who may wish to besmirch one's character or skittle one's reputation. We've all said things we wish we hadn't. To err is to be human, after all. What do you make of a world in which everyone's worst moments are readily available to everyone else – including potential enemies – at the click of a mouse? Doug: Facebook enshrines stupidity. A heavy Facebook user is, in effect, saying: "Look at me! I'm a thoughtless person who doesn't have anything better to do with his time". That's on top of the fact that users are exposing their thoughts, actions, and whereabouts to the NSA, the FBI, the CIA and any of a hundred other nefarious agencies. In fact, there are credible allegations that Facebook, along with Google and Amazon, are willing tools of these intelligence agencies. No good can come of being a Facebookista. But that's about whether you should use Facebook. Whether you should own Facebook stock is a different question. Even after the recent selloff, Facebook still has a market cap of about $500 billion, which impresses me as a lot for a chat site cum advertising vehicle. Especially one where most of its growth is behind it. A lot of users are getting hip to the fact they're not customers, they're the product. Facebook was a clever innovation ten years ago. But you know, there's an old saying in the stock market: High Tech, Big Wreck! Just as Myspace was displaced by Facebook, I predict Facebook 2.0 will come along and replace Facebook. My understanding is that kids now see Facebook as something used by old people– people over 21 years of age. So if it's going nowhere with the younger generation, where's it's future? Maybe it picks up a billion new users in the Third World. Ultimately, what's that worth? Facebook may not be a terminal short sale, but I certainly won't be putting any of my own money into the stock. Joel: Assuming you're correct and Facebook 2.0 does displace the current market leader, are you hopeful that such a platform may serve to promote a heightened level of discourse? Perhaps people might find their way into "phyles," that is, subgroups based on commonly shared values that actually have real world meaning? Doug: I hope that, in a year or two, International Man itself grows into a community of likeminded people with above average I.Q.s, libertarian values, and real world experience. IM might, itself, even branch off to become its own kind of Facebook. A private version. I know there's a lot of talk about regulating FB, or breaking it up. That's a bad idea; the government should have zero to do with business in general—and areas related to free speech in particular. I'm disgusted by the fact FB has kicked Alex Jones and others off their platform. But they have a right to do so, as a private company. Although, on the other hand, they're almost a creature of the State. But that's not an excuse for the government to "step in". What will happen is that a newer, better Facebook lookalike—or a dozen of them—will replace them. FB will self-destruct. It's a non-problem. To be frank, you and I don't really have that much in common with most of the 7.3 billion people on this planet. In fact, while I like many individual humans, I despise humanity in general. The more people you put together in a group, the more they act like chimpanzees. Big groups force down the lowest common denominator. There's some cause for optimism, but only on a person-to-person basis. I prefer the company of people who value free minds and free markets—and I suspect most people who are reading this now feel the same way. Joel: That's probably a very good note to end this conversation on, Doug. Thanks, as always, for taking the time. Doug: Meanwhile, we'll look for something with the potential of Facebook in 2008… and stay away from Facebook today. Continue Reading Latest Can America Ever Come Together Again? The people who cheer Trump believe the country they inherited from their fathers was a great, good and glorious country, and that the media who detest Trump also despise them. Published 4 days ago on August 18, 2018 By Patrick J. Buchanan Authored by Patrick Buchanan via Buchanan.org: If ex-CIA Director John Brennan did to Andrew Jackson what he did to Donald Trump, he would have lost a lot more than his security clearance. He would have been challenged to a duel and shot. "Trump's … performance in Helsinki," Brennan had said, "exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was … treasonous." Why should the president not strip from a CIA director who calls him a traitor the honor and privilege of a security clearance? Or is a top-secret clearance an entitlement like Social Security? CIA directors retain clearances because they are seen as national assets, individuals whose unique experience, knowledge and judgment may be called upon to assist a president in a national crisis. Not so long ago, this was a bipartisan tradition. Who trashed this tradition? Was it not the former heads of the security agencies — CIA, FBI, director of national intelligence — who have been leveling the kind of savage attacks on the chief of state one might expect from antifa? Are ex-security officials entitled to retain the high privileges of the offices they held, if they descend into cable-TV hatred and hostility? Former CIA chief Mike Hayden, in attacking Trump for separating families of detained illegal immigrants at the border, tweeted a photo of the train tracks leading into Auschwitz. "Other governments have separated mothers and children" was Hayden's caption. Is that fair criticism from an ex-CIA director? Thursday, The New York Times decried Trump's accusation that the media are "the enemy of the people." "Insisting that truths you don't like are 'fake news' is dangerous to the lifeblood of democracy. And calling journalists 'the enemy of the people' is dangerous, period," said the Times. Fair enough, but is it not dangerous for a free press to be using First Amendment rights to endlessly bash a president as a racist, fascist, sexist, neo-Nazi, liar, tyrant and traitor? The message of journalists who use such terms may be to convey their detestation of Trump. But what is the message received in the sick minds of people like that leftist who tried to massacre Republican congressmen practicing for their annual softball game with Democrats? And does Trump not have a point when he says the Boston Globe-organized national attack on him, joined in by the Times and 300 other newspapers, was journalistic "collusion" against him? If Trump believes that CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post are mortal enemies who want to see him ousted or impeached, is he wrong? We are an irreconcilable us-against-them nation today, and given the rancor across the ideological, social and cultural chasm that divides us, it is hard to see how, even post-Trump, we can ever come together again. Speaking at a New York LGBT gala in 2016, Hillary Clinton said: "You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables … racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic … Some of those folks … are irredeemable, but … they are not America." When Clinton's reflections on Middle America made it into print, she amended her remarks. Just as Gov. Andrew Cuomo rushed to amend his comments yesterday when he blurted at a bill-signing ceremony: "We're not going to make America great again. It was never that great." America was "never that great"? Cuomo's press secretary hastened to explain, "When the president speaks about making America great again … he ignores the pain so many endured and that we suffered from slavery, discrimination, segregation, sexism and marginalized women's contributions." Clinton and Cuomo committed gaffes of the kind Michael Kinsley described as the blurting out of truths the speaker believes but desperately does not want a wider audience to know. In San Francisco in 2008, Barack Obama committed such a gaffe. Asked why blue-collar workers in industrial towns decimated by job losses were not responding to his message, Obama trashed these folks as the unhappy losers of our emerging brave new world: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." These clingers to their Bibles, bigotries and guns are the people the mainstream media, 10 years later, deride and dismiss as "Trump's base." What Clinton, Cuomo and Obama spilled out reveals what is really behind the cultural and ideological wars of America today. Most media elites accept the historic indictment — that before the Progressives came, this country was mired in racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia, and that its history had been a long catalog of crimes against indigenous peoples, Africans brought here in bondage, Mexicans whose lands we stole, migrants, and women and gays who were denied equality. The people who cheer Trump believe the country they inherited from their fathers was a great, good and glorious country, and that the media who detest Trump also despise them. For such as these, Trump cannot scourge the media often enough. Continue Reading JOIN OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL Advertisement Your donations make all the difference.

Since 1922 the vocation of Valrhona has been to create exceptional gourmet chocolate, while respecting the artisan's know-how and fine French taste. Dedicated to quality, Valrhona selects and purchases its cocoa beans directly from choice plantations, thus securing an exclusive supply of Grand Crus from South America, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean. Valrhona was one of the first chocolatiers to describe their chocolate in a similar fashion to wine with the labelling of such creations as grand cru, single origin, single estate and even vintage chocolate. Valrhona is regarded as being amongst the best of the few french chocolate makers today creating their chocolate from bean to bar (cacaofevier). Read more about Valrhona.

'A rather impressive collection showcasing the world's most respected chocolatiers'
Valrhona was one of the first fine chocolate makers to penetrate the UK market with its high quality chocolate, particularly aimed at the professional trade with it's range of couvertures, perfected for pastry chefs. Fine chocolate up until this point was almost unheard of in the UK and certainly not readably available on the high street. During its growing popularity Valrhona launched many new products appealing to non professionals and today has a wide range of fine chocolates and a long-standing reputation for quality.
Valrhona is a French chocolate manufacturer based in the small town of Tain L'Hermitage in Hermitage, a wine-growing district near Lyon. The company was founded in 1922 by Monsieur Guironnet, an enterprising French pastry chef from the Rhône valley who opened La Chocolaterie du Vivarais, his first chocolate factory.
In 1939 messieurs Bourget and Gonnet bought Guironnet's chocolate factory on his death and renamed it Etablissements Gonnet, after Albert Gonnet, master confectioner and the company's new director. He is quickly joined by his son-in-law, Louis Gelet and then by Guy de Loisy, son in law of Bourgeat.
Each year Valrhona created new chocolates and particularly couvertures, the main part of Valrhona's business to the professional industry.
Valrhona is today one of the leading producers of high-quality chocolate in the world with 5 subsidiaries and 60 local distributors across the globe.. The company also maintains the Ecole du Grand Chocolat, a school for professional chefs with a focus on chocolate-based dishes and pastries. To make superior chocolate, only the best cocoa will do.
For many years:
In a space of two years Valrhon's buyer can review around 80 cocoa plantations in 22 countries. Working direct with producers rather than dealing with wholesale markets and dealers. Working direct with the growers also ensures quality and maintains checks on growing conditions and methods of harvesting, fermenting and drying of the cocoa.
The cocoa beans, once dried, should be stored on the plantation for a limited time only. The beans are examined before shipment to Valrhona and properly packed into appropriate ventilated containers.
Upon arrival at Valrhona's factory, the cocoa beans receive a painstaking inspection for the following purposes:
On the basis of these three criteria will be decided the acceptability- or not- of each consignment of cocoa beans to Valrhona.
The storage of accepted shipments of cocoa beans are then held under clean, dry, insect free conditions at a temperature of about 16ºC. They are classified by flavour.
Valrhona today produce an extensive range of superior quality chocolates from their retail range of vintage and single origin chocolate bars through to bonbons and chocolate specialities including their equally impressive food service products such as their world famous couvertures, fillings and chocolate decorations. As with most top end chocolatiers, Valrhona does not introduce a great deal of new chocolate for the seasons such as Christmas or Easter as this market is mainly focused on lower priced novelties and trends. Valrhona could never be described as a fashionable company although their sleek packaging and high finish of presentation certainly make an impression on anyone lucky enough to receive Valrhona chocolates as a gift. Valrhona's designer look is an added bonus for what is essentially a case of quality over quantity.
Another French chocolate maker of equal, superior quality you may be interested would be Michel Cluizel >

A New Caney man claims he sexually assaulted a teenage girl as an act of revenge against her family, authorities said.
Charles Andrew Capps, 21, is charged with sexual assault of a child and online solicitation of a minor - both felonies, Montgomery County officials said Tuesday.
After his arrest, Capps told investigators he planned the assault against the girl, 14, to get back at her relatives.
He accused someone in her family of sexually assaulting one of his relatives, then 14, about five years ago, according to officials with the Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
The investigation began in early January when a woman said someone was sending lewd photographs to her daughter through Facebook. She said she confronted the unknown person online and told him the girl was underage.
She said the man taunted her, saying she should "call Spiderman" for help, officials said.
Instead, she collected evidence and presented it to the constable's office, which then began an official inquiry.
The investigator first traced the anonymous Facebook account to a registered sex offender in New Caney. They determined that someone had hacked that account and was using the man's unique Internet Protocol address, officials said.
As the investigation was continuing, Capps walked into the constable's office on Jan. 31 and admitted sending the lewd photographs to the teenage girl, officials said. Capps also said he knew the girl, officials said.
Also, Capps said he had sex with the girl in November, describing it as consensual.
The teenager denied consenting, however, and said the man sexually assaulted her, officials said.
Under Texas law, a minor cannot consent to having sex.
After a warrant was issued for his arrest, Capps was taken into custody last week at his grandmother's home in New Caney.
He remains in the Montgomery County Jail under bail set at $180,000.

Clubfoot in children is most often a congenital (present at birth) abnormality that causes one or both feet to turn inward and downward. For the majority of children, clubfoot is almost completely correctable without major surgery or pain. Nemours orthopedic specialists use an established method to gently and safely stretch your child's foot or feet into the correct forward-facing position using casts and, later, orthotics (braces).
Congenital clubfoot occurs in about one out of 1,000 children and is twice as common in boys as girls. With clubfoot in children, there's an excellent chance that proper treatment will allow them to run, jump, play sports, dance, and experience all the joys of childhood.
The most effective and least expensive treatment for congenital clubfoot in chilldren is the Ponseti method. Named after Ignacio Ponseti, the doctor who invented it, this minimally invasive treatment is considered the international gold standard in correcting clubfoot. It starts shortly after birth and has two distinct phases:
- Casting: A cast is placed on the affected foot or feet to gently guide the bones, ligaments, and tendons toward the correct position. The cast is replaced and adjusted weekly for several weeks. Many children do require a minor procedure to help achieve the final corrected position of the foot.
- Orthotics: After the final cast, they'll be fitted for an orthotic, which keeps the clubfoot from developing again. The orthotic is used for a period of 2 to 5 years, mostly at night.
The Ponseti method has been developed and refined over the past 50 years, and numerous studies have shown that it's almost always the most effective and least painful way to correct a clubfoot. It doesn't cure clubfoot entirely, and the affected feet and calf muscles are usually a little smaller than normal. But the method does restore your child's ability to enjoy all the physical activities of a normal childhood.
